A compact, all-caps–friendly sans with sharp, planar corner cuts that substitute for curves. Strokes are consistently heavy and even, producing a dense, poster-like color, while counters stay relatively tight and squared-off. The design relies on straight segments, clipped terminals, and faceted joins, giving round letters a polygonal silhouette and keeping the overall rhythm rigid and mechanical. Lowercase echoes the same geometry with simplified forms and sturdy verticals, and numerals follow the same clipped, octagonal logic.
Best suited to bold headlines, titles, and short statements where its faceted geometry can be appreciated. It works well for sports and team-style branding, industrial or tech-themed packaging, logos, and signage that benefits from a tough, high-impact presence.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a retro-industrial edge reminiscent of athletic lettering and stencil-like signage. Its faceted construction reads technical and rugged rather than friendly, projecting confidence and impact.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize impact within a compact footprint, using repeated corner facets and uniform stroke weight to create a cohesive, mechanically cut look. The goal seems to be a distinctive, hard-edged display voice that remains clear and structured while avoiding soft curves.
The heavy weight and tight interior spaces make the face feel most at home at display sizes; in longer text, the dense texture and angular apertures can become visually insistent. The consistent chamfering across corners creates a strong, unified voice across letters and figures.
